    When people make a joke about a name in a different language than theirs, based on not being able to pronounce it correctly, is it just stupidity, or stupidity AND racism?

    (i guess answer depends on whether or not the different language is spoken by a minority in the space stupid people make that joke?)

      Rhyming and punnyness has been a staple of humor since the first laugh was uttered.

      I’ll be the first to dog-pile a few bullshit English contractions that are hilarious, like ya’ll’d’ve.

      Humans are pretty funny creatures, no matter the color.
